Question

Can present a thorough/realistic example of how ethics can decline in a slow manner which results in wide spread acceptance of actions that 20-40 years earlier would have been unacceptable. Is there biblical support for such a notion?

Answer 1

I can't help you with any biblical support off-hand, but one classic example of this is the presentation of s*x on television.

When television first appeared, s*x was not mentioned, even between married characters.  Over time, this changed a bit to actually showing the married characters in the bedroom, but sleeping in separate double beds and fully dressed.  As time continued, the married couples were put into bed, but no mention of any alternative sexual lifestyles or relationships was alluded to; it was always same-race heterosexual marriages.  In the 60's, the Star Trek TV show crossed a barrier when they featured the first interracial kiss on television when Capt. Kirk kissed Ohura.  As time progressed, s*x became more openly discussed, s*x became more of a centerpiece, but for programs reserved for later in the evening or on certain cable networks.  Prime-time was still reserved for more wholesome entertainment.  Now we have s*x as the primary centerpiece of shows during prime-time, including open and graphic representations of homosexuality, adultery, promiscuity, and alternative lifestyles (including an upcoming major network series on swingers).

You can see a similar trend in broadcast radio which declined to the point of the FCC stepping in and toning down radio shows, like Howard Stern, who had grown accustomed to completely crossing the boundaries of good taste and decorum.

Again, I can think of no biblical support for this, sorry.
